Late - Breaking Headlines
There were none.
Citizens Wishing to Address the Council and Responses from Councilmembers and /or Staff,
if appropriate
1. B. Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, regarding "how to figure your property tax increase to pay
for operation of the new airport control tower, and 4th try at an airport asset giveaway."
Peshak told the Council they are increasing the "debt load" at the airport by building a
control tower.
Don Dison, 607 Esparada, claimed the Council is running a "give -away program" at the
airport. He said he has invested half a million dollars to connect the water and sewer to his lease
property at the airport which he says will be lost to him if the Council does not renew his lease.
Kendall Young, 140 Scissortail, thanked the Mayor and Council for the conscientous way
they deal with the issues before them.
2. Brenda McDonald - Dickerson, 604 West Street, regarding "no parking signs established in
neighborhoods."
McDonald- Dickerson said she wished the City had taken into consideration that the
parking in front of the homes to which the residents objected was illegal parking where the cars
were blocking the driveways. She said the way the City resolved the problem was to put up "no
parking" signs, which keeps even the owners of the residences from parking in front of their own
homes. She said she has been ticketed twice for parking in front of her own house.
3. Sheryl and /or Rich Pupko, 108 Hickory Tree Drive, regarding "The variance granted to 110 Hickory
Tree Drive"
Sheryl Pupko said when they bought their home, she was aware of and pleased with the
building restrictions in the neighborhood. She said she objects to the structure built by her
neighbor at 110 Hickory Tree Drive. She said the Planning and Zoning Commission had voted to
deny and she thought that was final. She said she was not aware that the issue would go beyond
the Planning and Zoning Commission. Kersch told the Pupkos that the City Attorney is reviewing
the transaction at the Council Meeting. Ms. Pupko distributed pictures and a letter to the Council.
4. Rick Faught, 408 S. College, regarding "Permit for Sheriff's Posse Rodeo Parade"
Faught was not present when this item was to be considered.

Y Discussion and possible action to waive all fees associated with the sewer connections and other costs
associated with the Seranada East Phase 3 Wastewater Improvements -- Sam Pfiester
Pfiester explained that he had put this item on the agenda on behalf of nearly 100 residents and gave the
history of the item, saying the City is out of compliance with the annexation service plan.
the
Dusti Sheffield, 4401 W. Cordoba Circle, said the roads are torn up and she was told that they won't be
repaired until after the wastewater project is completed. She said it looks like a "war zone."
Amber Allerdyce, 4311 Casa Blanca Drive, reviewed Ordinance 97 -18 which said that the sewer sytem was
to have been completed in 4 1/2 years after the annexation. She said other projects have received priority
treatment, such as the new HEB. She asked that all connection fees be waived and all fees previously paid
by residents and money spent for repairs be reimbursed
Jeff Gerken, 4309 Cordoba West, told Council he feels the Serenada East residents have paid taxes that
would more than pay for the connection fees and asked that the fees be waived.
Tammy Hardt, 4305 Casa Blanca Drive, asked the City to waive the connection costs of $1425. She asked
all of the Serenada East residents in attendance to stand. Approximately 20 people stood.)
Pfiester asked and Briggs responded with a recap of the reasons for the City not having completed the
City Council Meeting Minutes /April 23, 2002
Page 5 of 10 Pages
sewer connection during the required timeframe. He noted that the delay in the sale and development of
The Reserve at Berry Creek was one of the reasons for the City's delay. Smith confirmed with Briggs that
July 28 would be the earliest date for connection and sometime in early October would be the latest, a
reasonable time being August. He said the line would be ready by June 28, but TNRCC requires that the
line remain in the ground for 30 days before service may be provided. There was discussion regarding the
950 connect fee paid by some of the residents in Phase I. Pfiester asked and Carls read the law
regarding the remedy available to the landowners. Navarrette asked if any residents had contacted Briggs
regarding expenses for maintenance on the septic systems. Briggs spoke of only one person requesting
reimbursement for cost to have their septic system pumped.
Lyda asked how the City would pay for this and whether there would be enough money available to
reimburse. She said the wastewater fund has some flexibility. Briggs cautioned that there was no provision
for the total of $145,000 at one time. Rundell spoke of spreading out the costs over three years. Lyda
confirmed with Briggs that there were no other services that were not provided on time for the annexed
area. Lyda asked if there could be a comparison done between the amount paid in taxes and the amount
required to support in city services. Rundell said none of the taxes collected have gone to fund any
wastewater operations.
Motion by Pfiester, second by Navarrette, on behalf of the citizens affected, that the $1425 connection fee
be waived and further gather information from those citizens who have already spent money on their septic
systems since October 1, 2001, including pumping and repairs, and they will consider those expenses for
reimbursement. (There was more discussion and an amendment before the vote.)
Smith pointed out that if the $145,000 is not available, it will need to be made up by the other taxpayers in
Georgetown. He said he doesn't think the people who have already repaired their septic systems and are
now having no problem should not be included in the waiver of connect fees. Lyda said he agreed with
Smith and said the rest of the citizens are paying for the line.
Briggs noted that there is no mandatory connection until the septic system fails. He said the motion would
need to include whether those who connect 10 or 15 years from now would receive free connection, as well.
Pfiester amended his motion to say that the landowners must connect by October 1, 2003. Navarrette
approved.
Noble said he agrees that the repairs should be reimbursed but doesn't agree with the "punitive" damages.
Vote on the motion with the amendment: 4 -3 (Lyda, Smith, and Noble opposed)
8:01 p.m. -- recessed -- 8:15 p.m. -- resumed
AA Consideration and possible action regarding the Economic Development Commission's recommendation of
a business retention and recruitment contractor -- Paula Boggs and MaryEllen Kersch
Boggs noted that proposals from nine contractors were read, four finalists were interviewed on April 11, the
Commission deliberated, and unanimously concluded that TIP Strategies, Inc. should be recommended to
Council as the business retention and recruitment contractor. Yantis asked Council to authorize him to
negotiate a contract with TIP, based on true costs billed on a monthly basis, to coincide with the current
budget year, with a cap for the fiscal year.
Motion by Lyda, second by Noble to authorize the City Manager to negotiate a contract with TIP
Development Strategies, Inc. through the end of this fiscal year. Approved 7 -0.
At this time, Rick Faught, who had registered to address the Council in Item 1 -4, was recognized. Faught spoke to
Council regarding the Sheriff's Posse Parade, to start off the rodeo, a fund - raiser to help the youth of the community.
He said the Posse has always provided their own deputies for security during the parade and has now been told that
they would need to hire off -duty police officers. He said the Sheriff's Posse offers their rodeo facility free of charge to
various non - profit organizations.
Yantis noted that some of the key intersections must be manned by Georgetown Police Officers, especially on state
roadways, such as Austin Avenue. He said they would try to reduce the number of police officers required. Yantis
said he estimated the total costs at $1700. Navarrette pointed out that the hotel occupancy tax might be available
for some of the advertising for the rodeo in order to offset some of their expenses for security.
FF -1 First reading of an ordinance to adopt new elements of the Century Plan: The Future Land Use Plan and
the Thoroughfare Plan -- Ed Polasek and Amelia Sondgeroth
City Council Meeting Minutes /April 23, 2002
Page 6 of 10 Pages
Sondgeroth read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of
the City Charter. With a slide presentation, she reviewed a memorandum provided in the packet that
addressed some of the concerns expressed by the citizens attending the public meetings. She also
distributed a corrected Exhibit D.
Larry Kokel, 706 Rock, representing the Weir Family, told Council that his clients wish to have the
designation of mining.
Clyde Woerner, 4101 E. SH29, told Council of attempting to get his property on Williams Drive rezoned
several years ago, and because he was denied, he rented out his house just like a lot of the others on
Williams Drive. He asked that Williams Drive be included in the future land use.
Renee Hanson, 1252 Austin Avenue, suggested a change to the land use map between 10th and 11th on
Church Street, that it be zoned residential instead of commercial to reflect the actual use. She asked also
that the area along 1460 be closely looked at. She thanked the staff and the consultant for working with her
on changing some of the uses in the downtown area to reflect what is already there.
Ronald Swain, 103 Diamond Trail, representing the TRG Neighborhood Association, asked if the new
regulations would impose restrictions on existing residences. Sondgeroth noted that discussions are being
held currently in the public workshops April 30, May 7, and May 14 with specific topics listed on the City of
Georgetown Website. She suggested that he attend the public workshops to get an answer to his
questions.
Iva McLachlan, 520 Wolf Road, handed out copies of Exhibit B showing approximately 200 acres of Wolf
property. She suggested that the area she designated on Exhibit B be expanded by +/- 115 acres, and be
designated commercial instead of mixed use. Pfiester asked Sondgeroth to explain. She said she thinks
there is confusion about the mixed -use designation. She said the City is aware that there will be major
traffic impact in the area and, in order to encourage the type of commercial development that is a
pedestrian- friendly, walkable area amongst the commercial development, the mixed -use designation is
required. McLachlan said her concern is that mixed -use is not well - defined. She said she is concerned that
years from now it would not be likely to be used as commercial if it is not zoned commercial.
Ronald Swain said his concern is that the residents could be regulated out of their homes in the TRG
neighborhoods. It was again suggested that he attend the public workshops.
Motion by Lyda, second by Evans to approve the Future Land Use Plan and Thoroughfare Plan,
incorporated with staff recommendations in the April 11, 2002 memo included in the Agenda Packet, with
the stated corrections and deleting the commercial designation on Church between 10th and 11th.
Navarrette asked if the change suggested by McLachlan should be included, however, he told Council he
would vote against the motion because he feels the Williams Drive area should be included in the Future
Land Use Plan before it is adopted.
Motion by Burson, second by Navarrette to amend the previous motion to change the 115 acres of the Wolf
property at IH35 and SH29 from mixed use to commercial as requested by McLachlan. Noble confirmed
that the mixed -use designation would allow commercial development and would allow more flexibility.
There was further discussion. Denied 2 -5. (Evans, Noble, Pfiester, Smith and Lyda opposed)
There was much further discussion. Vote on original motion: Approved 5 -2. (Navarrette and Burson
opposed)
FF -5 First Reading of an ordinance amending the 2001/2002 Annual Operating Plan Element (budget) for

Pfiester, second by Burson to approve. Approved 7 -01

Munk explained the item and noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission had approved this item at a
special meeting on April 22.
David Madole, 706 Churchill Farms Drive, noted that he had spoken against the connection of Churchill
Farms Drive through this neighborhood because of increased traffic, but he appreciated the offers from
Council at the last Council Meeting to assist with traffic congestion. He said he has not heard anything
more about enforcement, and asked that a fine be issued for violations of the plat note that redirects
construction traffic.
Motion by Navarrette, second by Burson to approve the Public Review Final Plat. Approved 7 -0.
